It looks like Bethesda has a lot up its sleeve when it comes to Starfield. The game boasts tonnes of mechanics that players need to get used to. The studio’s experience of making AAA titles has helped them realize how to craft a game that is near perfect and Starfield definitely seems like one of those projects.

While exploration seems to be the main theme of Starfield, players also get to experience first-person shooting gameplay along with the thrill of spacecraft battles. One interesting mechanic was highlighted by a Reddit user and that was the one of strange encounters.

What did the Starfield player experience?

The Starfield player took to the platform when they realized that they were losing out on some of the best content provided by the game by using the “Grav Jump” feature. They went on to post “At the start, I was doing this for convenience but I was unknowingly missing a lot of the game’s content because of this. So I would just fast travel from the surface of one planet to a location I’ve already visited on a different planet, even in a different system.”

The gamer advises players to fly to the orbits of other planets instead of going all the way to the landing point. Upon doing so, they faced one of the game’s strange encounters and loved what they experienced.

The player goes on to explain how they would go about traveling within the game. The key takeaway from the post was when the user said “Don’t teleport/fast travel directly to the landing point, travel to the planet’s orbit first. Likewise with grav jumps, do it and go through the cut scene.”

Encounters can also come to players as hard character-melting grandmas. Some players mentioned their experience with the elderly woman and a few helped her out too.
